Hi Guys,

These might seem to you like strange questions to ask, but there's bigger story behind them....

1) VS075 (747-400 LGW from MAN-MCO) has UC at the very front, followed backwards by PE, and then Econ. Do you guys know where the boarding tunnel is attached to the aircraft for UC boarding, or boarding in general? i.e which door (between UC & PE, or between PE and Econ)?

2) I need to get hold of 1 (or 2) of the purple UC luggage tags (Long story) and can't get VA to send any out to me. Does anyone have 1 that they could send/sell to me, or know how I could go about getting one?

Thanks

Assuming it's the same as LGW, boarding will normally be through door L2 between PE and Y.

1) Yes, it's only at LHR and some US airports where there's 2 jet bridges used so it's door L2 that's used for boarding with 1 jet bridge at airports like MAN/LGW etc

2) I have 1 tatty & 1 very tatty purple Upper tag but several of the older silver Upper tags, all blank. The older style silver tags are all nice and tidy for some odd reason!! You are welcome to have any of them for nothing. Maybe try the VS Twitter/FaceBook team for some new ones?

Edit - found 2 more purple ones, both in pretty good nick (again both blank)

PM me you postal address and I'm more than happy to post them to you :)

Must get your timing right though as it's not like LHR where you turn up and simply walk on while The Y que is huge, otherwise you'll get stuck right at the back so you either go there early or go late just not in the middle of boarding.
